Echologger Air50 (Air-borne Echosounder)

General

Product Name:

Echologger Air50 (Air-borne Echosounder)

Product Description:

This device is optimized for monitoring sediment move in swash zone and surf zone using Air-borne Ultrasound.
Up to 32 devices can be linked together in series to cover an area of interest with accurate measurements, and the network is supported by MODBUS protocol.
The array of linked devices can also help discovering key parameters about exchange of sediment between land and sea.
